Subject: [committed v3] nisplus: Correct pwent parsing issue and resulting build error [BZ #23266]
Date: Wed, 27 Jun 2018 20:14:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.00.1806271622200.20622@tp.orcam.me.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <xnzhziib7l.fsf@greed.delorie.com>

Copy and null-terminate NIS+ password file UID and GID entries whose
length is non-zero and are not terminated, in addition to empty ones,
fixing a bug and a compilation issue causing an error with GCC 8:

nss_nisplus/nisplus-parser.c: In function '_nss_nisplus_parse_pwent':
nss_nisplus/nisplus-parser.c:90:7: error: 'strncpy' destination unchanged after copying no bytes [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
       strncpy (first_unused, numstr, len);
       ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
nss_nisplus/nisplus-parser.c:106:7: error: 'strncpy' destination unchanged after copying no bytes [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
       strncpy (first_unused, numstr, len);
       ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

introduced with commit ac05397075f6:

commit ac05397075f621cfdbe1db527c96167a58b6d18e
Author: Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com>
Date:   Sun Apr 30 07:01:26 2006 +0000

	* nis/nss_nisplus/nisplus-parser.c: Minor optimizations and
	cleanups.  Avoid copying data if it can be used in the old place.

(no mailing list reference available).  Obviously regardless of the
recently added compiler diagnostics causing a build error this code has
been long non-functional, so I guess NIS+ servers have been supplying
strings that are non-empty and have already been null-terminated.
Which in turn made it unnecessary to make a null-terminated copy,
masking this bug.

	[BZ #23266]
	* nis/nss_nisplus/nisplus-parser.c (_nss_nisplus_parse_pwent):
	Copy and null-terminate entries that are not terminated, in
	addition to empty ones.

 Thanks, applied now, with two minor updates:

* s/compilation/build/ in the heading so that it fits in 79 columns with 
  GIT's indentation applied,

* a comma added after "are not terminated" in the description and 
  ChangeLog, for clarity,

which I have decided that qualify as trivial and therefore not requiring 
further consensus.

 Here's the actual version committed, for future reference.
